![]() Later in the year we'll be completing Version 1.0.0-Alpha.1 and releasing it to our Alpha 1 backers. This is earlier in development than has ever been done before, and gives players the opportunity to provide real, meaningful, actionable feedback. We're super excited to get players into CoE this early because the feedback we'll be receiving will allow us to make changes to the gameplay mechanics even before we complete Alpha 1. Here you can see what a couple of the tribes look like in Vo圎lyria. In the meantime, we wanted to show you some Work-In-Progress characters. We'll first move onto backers with Alpha 2 access, then Beta 1 access, then Beta 2 access, and finally we'll open up access to all community members who have purchased a package and will lift the NDA. Anyone who has a pledge package with Alpha 1 access, or who has purchased Alpha 1 Access from the a la carte store will be among the first to step foot into Elyria.Īfter that, we'll continue to increase the size of the pre-Alpha audience at irregular intervals, depending on how the pre-Alpha testing is going. This separation means that we're able to get CoE into the hands of players even while we continue to iterate on systems which are heavily dependent on the UE4 client systems such as crafting and combat, which require a full 3D user-experience.Īs this is a Pre-Alpha release, it'll be under NDA and will be put into the hands of our Alpha 1 backers first. It still connects to the Chronicles of Elyria backend, but doesn't use the Unreal Engine as a client. For those unfamiliar, Vo圎lyria is a voxel-based web client that we've created to quickly iterate on gameplay mechanics. There's no timeline for the release of this tool yet, but we're working on Character Creation right now.īeginning around April, and the completion of Release 0.3.0, players with Alpha 1 access will able to log into a pre-Alpha version of Chronicles of Elyria using the Vo圎lyria client. Items such as furniture, buildings, animals, siege equipment, and other things you've acquired. After we release the Exposition Store (EP Store), many items purchased will be viewable here. ![]() As a result, we're going to be releasing a simple client to the players at some point during the year that we call "My Akashic Record." The client has the single purpose of being both a character creator, so you can experiment with the various tribes and bloodlines that are possible to create, and a virtual space for showing off in-game items you've acquired and will be usable during exposition or after launch. We've also recognized that many people in the community want to see the stuff they've received in the game that isn't playable yet - things such as their Phoenix pet or other animals. ![]() Given the range of values allowed by the different bloodlines it's both interesting and exciting to see what types of characters are possible within the different tribes, and what happens when breeding members of the different tribes together. Let's look at each.Ĭharacter Creation & Your Akashic Record - NEW!!Īs we've been making progress on Character Creation we've observed that it's quite fun just to see what kind of characters can be created. This is primarily being done through three major releases that will happen throughout the year. But 2018 is going to see a far greater audience of players getting their hands on Chronicles of Elyria. Previous years had us presenting playable demos of CoE to the relatively small percentage of our community who were fortunate enough to make it to either PAX East or PAX West. Triple negative sentences are difficult for my brain to comprehend but from what I understand, 2020 will be THE year.
